About WLQP:

The West London Queer Project exists to create safe, joyful spaces for LGBTQIA+ people across West London and beyond.

About Yin Yoga: Yin Yoga is a slow, mediative style of yoga practised mainly on the floor. Postures are held for several minutes at a time so practitioners can access deep tissues, such as the connective tissue and the fascia. Many of the postures focus on areas involving joints i.e hips, sacrum and spine.

“Yin yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body; the tendons, fascia, and ligaments-with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. A meditative approach to yoga, yin aims to cultivating awareness of inner silence, and bringing to light a universal, interconnecting quality”

By holding the postures for an extended period of time the benefits for the practitioners include:

Calming and balancing for the mind and body
Regulates energy in the body
Increases mobility in the body, especially the joints
Lowers stress levels
Increases stamina
Lubricates and protects the joints
Improves flexibility in joints & connective tissue
Releases fascia throughout the body
Generates deeper relaxation
Provides greater coping for anxiety and stress
Compliments your Bikram hot yoga practise

FAQ

Is this a safe and inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ people? Absolutely. This class has been created in partnership with WLQP specifically to ensure everyone in the community feels welcome, seen and comfortable. You are invited to show up exactly as you are.

Will the class be exclusively for LGBTQIA+ people? No — the class is open to everyone and will be mixed with regular BYC practitioners. This is intentional. Yoga is a practice that brings people together regardless of gender, age, sexuality or background. You may find that sharing the mat with a diverse group is part of what makes it special.

Do I need any yoga experience? None at all. Yin Yoga is one of the most accessible styles of yoga there is. Whether this is your very first class or you’ve been practising for years, you are welcome.

Is it suitable if I have an injury or limited mobility? Yes. Yin Yoga is gentle and low impact. That said, please let the teacher know before class if you have any injuries, medical conditions or specific needs, so the class can be adapted where needed.

Will it be a hot yoga class? No. Although BYC is known for its heated studios, this Yin Yoga class will not be a hot class. The room may be slightly warmer than a standard studio, but it will be a comfortable, relaxed temperature.
